Abstract: Systems and methods associated with media hub devices are provided that passively monitor user devices and transmit targeted media through in-channel transmissions that use the same channel used to monitor the user devices, or shifted channel transmissions that are different than the channel used to monitor the user devices. For example, a media hub device may passively monitor customer devices by scanning a wireless communication channel and obtaining device identification information transmitted by a user device that communicates the device identification information via the wireless communication channel. A media hub device may link the user device with a particular user or may anonymously monitor user behavior, through the monitored user device, without explicit knowledge of the identity of the user. Targeted media may be provided to the user device either in-channel using the same channel used to passively monitor the user device or a shifted channel using a different channel.

Abstract: Various systems and methods of self-configuring networked media hub devices with failover recovery of peers are disclosed. For example, a media hub device may be configured in an “out-of-the-box” solution in which the media hub, upon startup, obtains configuration data from a remote device. Peer media hub devices may be connected to one another via a local network and may each be self-configured in the same manner. Each media hub device may monitor other media hub devices on the local network. Based on such monitoring, each media hub device may detect that one of the media hub devices is offline and a new media hub device is online. One or more of the online media hub devices may automatically configure the new media hub device using the offline media hub device's configuration data, thereby configuring the new media hub device to replace the offline media hub device.
